Anyone done Triple Coolers recently?

I was thinking about heading up there in the next day or two. Temps too warm? Sloppy but climbable?

I'll start in deep darkness if that'll help.

Tanks!

It was bad shape a few weeks ago. I doubt if the heat wave is helping any . . .

Right, I just saw the other thread about it. Hold still until December when I ask again

Hidden to North Face up into the third should be good until 1st of July. This is a great route and one worth doing(Wickwire?). Wait for lower temps though. The connecting second is gone by now I am sure.

Get an early start. Lots of rock debris at the base of #1, with a tricky start due to the burg.

Make sure you bring on the whiskey and greenage to camp in order to carry on the finest traditions like Veggie and I

 

I would be the connection is gone by now too. I did see someone else's photo a couple weeks old that showed them ice runnels to be possibly in though...

 

My advice is to wait another season.. Or go find another route or mountain.

Oh yeah, I've moved on...this is sooo...yesterday.

But seriously, it sounds like the Wickwire route Robert mentioned could still be done. Thanks for all the info!

You can probably also climb the Serpentine Arete and Backbone Ridge by now too. I suppose you can climb those couloirs at any time of year if you were persistent enough... But why bother when there are other possibilities and conditoins are not favorable....
